1) design and carry out at least one independent investigation with a well written formal lab report. TIME Schedule for this independent investigation: March 4th: Introduction: background, question, and hypothesis April 1st : Material and Methods and start experiment (take photos) MAY 2nd: Results with Narrative, Tables, and Graphs May 9th : Conclusion May 16th : Overall Report, Poster, and Presentation
Objectives: Mar. 29 - April 7th
Honors biology is intended as a ninth grade course for highly motivated students who have demonstrated an interest in science. Honors Biology I is designed to give the student a more challenging and in-depth in study. In Honors Biology I, students are expected to work independently on a variety of assignments and accept greater responsibility for their learning. In addition to the outcomes in Biology, students are expected to: 1) design and carry out at least one independent investigation with a well written formal lab report. TIME Schedule for this independent investigation: March 4th: Introduction: background, question, and hypothesis April 1st : Material and Methods and start experiment (take photos) April 22nd : Results with Narrative, Tables, and Graphs May 9th : Conclusion May 16th : Overall Report, Poster, and Presentation 2) read and report on recent research in biology Example: Acid Rain Assignment More of these reading and writing assignments in the future. 3) demonstrate a more in-depth conceptual understanding of all biology outcomes. Example: More analytical question on the test & graphing results on quizzes.
